Reduced gonadotroph stimulation by ethanolamine plasmalogens in old bovine brains
Abstract Ethanolamine plasmalogens (EPls), unique alkenylacyl-glycerophospholipids, are the only known ligands of G-protein-coupled receptor 61—a novel receptor co-localised with gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors on anterior pituitary gonadotrophs. Brain EPl decreases with age. Commercial EPl...
